Open Gate at Sunnybrae Acres promotes Holistic Management Kelly Running Observer Staff

Holistic Management practices are becoming more popular amongst those in the cattle industry as pockets of knowledgeable individuals spread.

As a way to further educate those in agriculture on Holistic Management practices and for those engaged in Holistic Management to network with others an Open Gate Learning Day was held at Neil and Barbara Dennis’ ranch, Sunnybrae Acres, on Friday, July 15.

What is Holistic Management?

Essentially Holistic Management is focused on working with nature. This means integrating the Water Cycle, Mineral Cycle, Biological Community,

During one of their cattle moves at the Open Gate at Sunnybrae Acres nearly 500 head willingly moved into a twentieth of an acre briefly before being given the rest of the acre. This made for approximately two million pounds on a twentieth of an acre, which may be done in Holistic Management to accomplish a goal of clearing out a certain area of specific foliage or to work seeds from plants into the ground for the future. and Energy Flow into the management of grazing cattle.

The idea of Holistic Management is to utilize pasture management in simulating how bison once roamed the prairies. The electric fences being moved throughout the day and in some instances using back fencing to prevent the animals from returning to that section, mimics the ways in which predators once circled bison.

It is said to be better for the land because it brings it back to nature. Holistic Management looks at increasing the stock density on a particular piece of land allowing them to move across the field slowly and then opening up another paddock for them to move into. By doing this, cattle eat the full variety of vegetation, choosing to eat the more sugary part of the plant or taking the higher fibre portion of the plant depending on what they need in their diet. They then move on as the easily moveable fence is removed to allow them to expand their territory.

The first paddock is then allowed to recuperate as the cattle move on through the pasture.

Holistic Management also sees ranchers utilize their pastures earlier in the year because the plant can begin working earlier in the year and later into the winter in utilizing sunlight.

Plant diversity was also a focus of the day with a higher density of plants, increased growth time allowed for vegetation, and an increased total leaf area covering the ground. Each of these factors increases energy absorption by plants which in turn increases the amount of carbon dioxide they use in photosynthesis, while creating a healthier plant which produces a higher sugar content which is enjoyed by the cattle.

Essentially they’re farming sunlight by ensuring their land can best utilize sunlight for photosynthesis, “no bare ground,” was one of the big emphasises of the day.

Is it a solution to climate change?

Carbon dioxide has been rising in the atmosphere and has become a source of discussion regarding climate change. The carbon cycle, however, is part of not only the atmosphere, but can be found in vegetation, soil, and oceans.

“We know the atmosphere can hold more but we are learning the consequences of this,” Blaine Hjertaas writes. “The oceans hold the most but they are becoming more acidic as their load increases, causing alarm for coral ecosystems. The safe place to store carbon is to increase the organic content of the soil. Agricultural soils on the eastern prairies averaged 12 percent organic matter at settlement. Today those same soils are between four to six percent.”

The Soil Carbon Coalition has been measuring the change in carbon across North America. In southeast Saskatchewan tests began in 2011 and were then were retested in 2014.

Although cattle and livestock produce methane gas, the land on which they’re managed can act as a deposit for further greenhouse gas emissions.

At the Hjertaas ranch near Redvers, for every kilogram of greenhouse gas emissions related to the industry, they have sequestered 17 kilograms. At McNeil’s in Alameda one kilogram emitted relates to 25 kilograms of carbon sequestered. Finally at Corcoran’s near Langbank for every kilogram emitted they sequester 39 kilograms.

Ways to improve soil sequestration is to utilize poly crops and avoid monocultures, while also using various grazing and cropping strategies that promote land cover and active biology in the soil.

As the carbon content in soil increases the soil biology increases, which in turn improves the soil aggregates which attach to plant root systems.

While walking through the field, Blaine Hjertaas, a Certified Educator with Holistic Management International, encouraged groups to use a shovel and uproot a small area. The roots went deep and the soil aggregates were attached in clumps to the roots.

“The plant is taking in the sunshine it captures and is turning it into sugar through photosynthesis, which feeds the fungi and bacteria,” Hjertaas said. “The fungi and bacteria then aid the plant in taking minerals out of the soil that they can’t usually process well.”

“Glomalin is then produced which acts as superglue for soil aggregates and the deeper the roots go the deeper the carbon sequestration is occurring.”

You are a real chatterbox. Even if you live alone, you talk with lots of people and your phone never stops ringing. You also have lots of running around to do.

What does this do? The water holding capacity increases to mitigate flooding and damage from drought, production increases, soil biology improves, it creates nutrient dense foods which are healthier for people, increases pollinators, and encourages the overall cycle of life amongst wildlife.

In relation to this, Hjertaas wants to see a carbon tax, which in turn is used to give back to those farmers and ranchers who are conducting practices which returns carbon to the ground as a subsidy; a way to reward those who are able to sequester carbon and help balance the carbon cycle again.

The Opengate at Sunnybrae Acres During the field day the group visited different paddocks near Sunnybrae Acres homestead. Neil and Barbara Dennis, trace their land back to Neil’s grandfather who homesteaded to the area in 1900. Over the past 30 years Neil has been exploring different ways to make his land as productive as possible.

Neil was once a purebred cattle and sheep producer, as well as a mixed farm operator, but as he began focusing on the health of the land in his care he is a success in Holistic Management having rejuvenated a pasture seeded in 1949 through high stock density and increased land recovery time. Through this he increased the biodiversity of a pasture that had once been a crested wheat crop to now boast nearly 40 varieties of plants, while increasing the land’s water infiltration. In return this has improved the mineral cycle and has improved soil carbon sequestration.

The Dennis’ graze their pastures taller, either while flowering which leads cattle to eat this portion of the plant making it grow back more lush or when the field has gone to seed because the cattle then pack the seed heads back into the pasture to grow in later years.

The group of nearly 40 people visited and discussed best management that they’ve found through their time ranching. They watched as the Dennis’ moved cattle throughout the day, watching as nearly 500 head were grazing one and a half acres (including water) and given an expansion of an acre. The cattle moved over to the new area then began moving back and forth as they grazed their choicest parts of plants first and continued throughout.

Later in the day the cattle were moved again. This time a fence was opened to a twentieth of an acre and all 500 head moved into the small area for a short time before the fence was opened to the rest of the acre that was fenced off for them. This was done because Holistic Management allows ranchers to focus on different aspects of improving the land.

Do they need the animals to trample seeds and spread out future plant growth? Do they want them to stop the spread of a certain plant in which case they’d have the cattle eat the plant before it went to seed.

Ultimately what Holistic Managers want is to be able to work with grain farmers in building their soil as well. By allowing cattle onto land once the land has been harvested then added carbon matter can be brought in with the cattle helping improve the land as the farmer continues to utilize it for a cash crop. Both parties would benefit from mutually working together.

Concluding the day As the day came to an end the group was amazed by the difference shown and described throughout the day between conventional grazing practices and Holistic Management at the Dennis’ ranch.

The reason why many are doing this is to improve the land and try to make the world better for their children and grandchildren, and they feel that Holistic Management is the key.

Weather for the week . . .

You give your full attention to a family matter. You particularly appreciate the comfort of your home or spending time with your family if you’re on vacation.

Potluck Ideas!

BLT Pasta Salad INGREDIENTS 1 (16 ounce) package medium seashell pasta 1 pound sliced bacon 1½ cups light Ranch-style salad dressing 1 small onion, chopped 2 tomotoes, chopped

DIRECTIONS Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, and cook until tender,

about 8 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water to cool.

Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crisp. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.

In a large bowl, stir together the Ranch dressing, onion, and tomatoes. Mix in the cooled pasta. The pasta will absorb some of the dressing, so don’t worry if it seems like too much. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Crumble bacon over the top just before serving.

Saskatoon Berry Cream Cheese Crumb Cake INGREDIENTS 1½ brown sugar 1½ cups all purpose flour 1 cup rolled oats 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon ⅔ cup vegetable oil 5 cups fresh saskatoon berries ⅓ cup water 2 tablespoons lemon juice ¾ cup white sugar 2 tablespoons all purpose flour Cream cheese layer: 1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, diced

DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.

Whisk brown sugar, 1 1/2 cups flour, oats, and cinnamon together in a bowl; gradually stir in oil until mixture is crumbly. Press half the crumb mixture into the prepared pan; set remaining crumbs aside for topping.

Bake in the preheated oven until firm, about 10 minutes. Remove crust from oven and cool slightly, leaving oven on.

Place serviceberries and water in a saucepan.

Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes; stir in lemon juice. Whisk white sugar and 2 tablespoons flour together in a small bowl; stir sugar mixture into berries and cook until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3 minutes.

Allow to cool for a few minutes; pour berry filling over crumb crust.

Summer Times is back!

Sprinkle cream cheese pieces evenly over berry filling. Spread remaining crumb mixture over cream cheese layer and press gently with a potato masher.

Released on July 15, 2016 The Minster of Parks, Culture and Sport officially opened two recently-completed capital projects at Moose Mountain Provincial Park today: the beach service centre and the all-terrain vehicle (ATV) trails.

“We want to ensure our visitors have a memorable and enjoyable experience in the park,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said. “With record visitation last year, we are pleased these upgrades will enhance the amenities available to visitors in the park.”

The Government of Saskatchewan invested more than $700,000 in the new beach service centre. The recently completed beach service centre offers showers and accessible washroom facilities for beach users. It also features a small interpretive programming space so that staff are easily able to facilitate the many popular programs available at the park.

For the ATV trails, the Government of Saskatchewan contributed $125,000, which was matched by the National Trails Coalition, for a total investment of $250,000. Parks officials worked closely with the Saskatchewan All-Terrain Vehicle Association (SATVA) to enhance the trails at Moose Mountain Provincial Park.

The ATV trails are located in the back country of Moose Mountain, and they make use of some of the snowmobile trails. ATVs are only permitted on designated trails, so all ATV riders must trailer their unit to the trailhead and unload it there. Anyone who plans to make use of the ATV trails at Moose Mountain needs to stop by the park office before heading to the trails. At the park office, riders can pick up their no-charge permit and information package, which includes a map of the trails and details on rider responsibilities.

Provincial parks are delicate ecosystems, and off-trail riding is strictly prohibited. The ATV trail riding season is from June 15 to the Labour Day long weekend each year, however, based on weather and trail conditions, the trails may be occasionally closed in that time period.

Earlier this summer, the government announced a project to upgrade the main sewage lift station at Moose Mountain Provincial Park. This project, which will begin later this fall, will see significant upgrades to the lift station’s pumping, ventilation, electrical and mechanical systems.

In 2015, government met its commitment of investing an additional $10 million over four years into the provincial park system, for a total investment of $53 million in capital projects and maintenance over that four year time frame. Projects undertaken during this commitment include the development of two new campgrounds, upgrading or replacement of service centres, extensive campsite electrical expansion and upgrading, water and wastewater system upgrades, new and enhanced boat launches, and new campsite furnishings.

Total funding for the provincial parks system since 2007 is more than $200 million. This funding includes capital expenditures and investment, operational funding, and parks programming. New programs are being offered in provincial parks such as the Learn to Camp program, Learn to Fish program, and the Cultural Access Pass, which provides newcomers free entry to day-use areas within parks.

(above) Parks, Culture, and Sport Minister Mark Docherty says a few words about the new additions to the park.

Vipers Volleyball teammates picked to play at Nationals Lynne Bell

Observer Staff

Southeast Vipers Volleyball Club teammates McKenna Harkness, 15 and Ashleigh Wolensky, 16 were selected to represent the province as part of the Team Saskatchewan contingent at Volleyball Canada’s National Team Challenge Cup, held Thursday, July 14 to Sunday, July 17 in Richmond, B.C.’s Olympic Oval.

And while the friends and teammates played on different teams-with Harkness on Team Sask’s 16U roster and Wolensky on the province’s 18U squadthey both indirectly benefited from the presence of their Southeast Vipers coach-Arcola’s Eugene Brownwho is also the head coach of one of two of Team Sask’s 16U teams competing at nationals.

“I’ve played volleyball since I was 12 and I’ve played with the Vipers since I was 14,” says Harkness, of Arcola. “My coaches-Eugene Brown and Kelly Running-have helped me a lot and it’s great that Mr. Brown will be in B.C., too.”

Wolensky-who lives in Redvers- agrees, adding Brown’s intervention led her directly to the 18U teamand probably to Nationals.

“I’m 16 and I turn 17 in December,” says Wolensky. “I tried out for the 16U team at the (final selection tryout) camp in Regina. They told me I was too old.

Eugene Brown talked to them and I was allowed to try out for the older team.”

“There were 33 girls at that tryout and we were evaluated by how we played. I honestly didn’t know how I’d do, but I did my best and even though I thought the tryouts could have went better, I was really surprised and happy when I found out I’d made the 18U team.”

“Eugene Brown said, ‘When you’re in a battle and you drop your sword, you’ve got to pick it up and give it all you’ve got,’” adds Wolensky. “I got the opportunity to try out for the 18U team after not being able to try out for the 16U team and I did my best.”

The opportunity for the girls to represent the province started in Lloydminster, Sask.-the site of the first tryout. The final provincial tryout camp-in Regina- was a three-day marathon which involved the young women being evaluated during play, as well as “everything involving our skills,” according to Harkness. “They ran certain drills and we participated in different sessions all involving different skills.”

“All the time, the (provincial) coaches were watching,” adds Harkness. “Both of us were competing for a spot, along with anywhere from 30 to 50 other girls in our age groups, depending on which tryout we were at.”

“Usually, it just forces you to do your own game.

In the beginning it’s nerve-wracking, but then you just concentrate on your own game.”

“The coaches watched our passing, serving, hitting, everything,” adds Wolensky. “They were looking

Provincial team practices took place in Regina and Saskatoon, culminating in a a two-week camp in Caronport.

“We’ll come together as a team,” says Wolensky.

“But as an individual, volleyball has given me a stronger mentality. I’ve learned you’ve got to push yourself harder and when you fall down, you push yourself up and go harder than you did before.”

“With volleyball, you know what your priorities are as an individual player and as part of a team,” she continues. “But the provincial team workouts not only help with technical stuff, you also gel more as a team, gain confidence in each other and make friends, too.”

Both Harkness and Wolensky say they embrace the challenge of a national competition and add that they already have the foundations in place to put forth their best efforts.

tionals,” says Wolensky. “Competing in an Olympic venue feels pretty good and I’m sure this time will feel just as good. I plan to hit the gym a little harder and I definitely try to eat healthier when I’m competing.”

“But we’ve been taught (as Vipers players) to match what we eat in restaurants to what we eat at home-having the same type of meal and not making any big changes before a big competition.”

“Playing volleyball has already taught us those lessons like hard work and responsibility,” says Harkness. “And before a game, I don’t change my routine.

I get dressed the same way and warm up the same way. And if it’s an early enough game, I usually eat pretty light and have a bigger meal later.”

“It’s definitely not a super-strict diet,” says Harkness. “You have to decide if you’re fueling your body properly and that’s different for everybody.”

“I started playing volleyball in grade five in Bellegarde,” says Wolensky. “I only started playing club season in 2015. The first time I tried out for a club team-the Vipers-I didn’t expect to make it. I have amazing coaches and teams to thank in Bellegarde and with the Vipers. My coaches have helped me be the person and volleyball player that I am. They are all a part of why I made it to Team Saskatchewan.”

“A shout-out to my amazing family who has supported me in this journey and to McKenna Harkness and her family,” adds Wolensky. “They’ve helped with travel and brought me into their family, too.”

“I’m so grateful to my parents for all the time they put in, instilling values like working hard and always doing your best,” says Harkness. “My whole family was there in B.C. And it will be super-cool to play somewhere like the Olympic Oval in Richmond.”

“It’s always a good thing to play somewhere different,” says Harkness. “You’re always improving your game and it reinforces the importance of being an aggressor, not in the physical sense-like in a contact sport-but in volleyball, going for it.”

“One of my favourite things will be the experience itself-of going to a new place and meeting new people.”

“It’s just the coolest thing to represent your province on such a high level,” says Harkness.

Wolensky agrees. “The first time I competed at an Olympic venue in Calgary, I thought: ‘This is awesome and I want to live up to this.’”

“Playing for your province is an amazing feeling and I’m not sure it’s completely sunk in yet,” says Wolensky. “At Nationals, I aimed to have a great experience and to play the best volleyball of my life and it turned out to be the best experience I’ve ever had in my life.”

Harkness agrees. “It was a super-cool experience to play teams from all over Canada. It was a really good learning experience, too.”

Four minor collisions were reported. No one was injured. In one

instance it was a hit and run; this occurred in Arcola where a truck and trailer struck a power pole as they were turning onto Main Street.

They didn’t stop whether they just kept driving or didn’t know they had hit the pole is unknown.

Liquor investigations Two liquor investigations took place: one in Carlyle and one in Moose Mountain Provincial Park.

Failure to appear Someone failed to attend court and has been charged for doing so.

Harassing communications There were four reports of harassing communications during this time occurring in Kenosee and Carlyle.

Intimidation An individual was charged with intimidation in Carlyle.

Rider Insider Well Rider Nation, where are we at this morning?

Or in the words of the immortal John Lynch - the Hall of Fame Roughrider broadcaster from the 1970’s and 80’s -, “Where do we go from here, caller?”

Your Jolly Green Giants are the CFL’s only winless team at 0-3 following their latest defeat, 40-27 at the hands of the B.C. Lions Saturday night at Mosaic Stadium. In the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game when Lions punter Richie Leone hit a 69-yard punt single and their point total hit 40, I winced. That’s a lot of points to give up.

And the script continued to follow the disturbing narrative from the past two years; without Darian Durant, this team can’t win.

The Face of the Franchise went down with a “lower body injury” in the second quarter of Saturday’s game, with his Roughriders leading 10-7. And has has been the case with Tino Sunseri, Seth Doege, Kerry Joseph, Kevin Glenn, Brett Smith and now the little-known Mitchell Gale, no back-up has been able to rally this team to victory without the vaunted Riders› #4.

No coaching staff has discovered the magic formula to overcome Durant’s absence either. At least, not yet.

Had Durant finished Saturday’s game, Saskatchewan wins it. Hands down. But for whatever reason, the roof over Canada’s Team habitually falls

in without their leader.

Why do defensive backs suddenly have brain farts and blow coverages when Durant’s watching on the sidelines in a t-shirt and ball cap? Why can’t defenders hang onto a sure interception even when Durant’s not even on the field? It’s what’s called “a phenomena”. The unexplained.

The Webster’s Dictionary definition of “phenomena”: “something (such as an interesting fact or event) that can be observed and studied and that typically is unusual or difficult to understand or explain.”

Bingo.

The impact of Darian Durant on this franchise’s fortunes is truly inexplicable and definitely underrated. And now the team is, again, looking at making plans for “Life Without Darian” as they prepare to host the Ottawa RedBlacks this Friday night at Mosaic Stadium. Durant’s immediate status is uncertain, other than the pivot told reporters on the weekend that the injury is not long-term.

And it’s time to face facts. Since Darian Durant went down with a season-ending injury in the 2014 Banjo Bowl in Winnipeg, the club is 5-25.

That is a helluva lot of losing.

Is it any wonder none of the three home games this year have been sellouts?

Now you can’t hang much of this on the new Saskatchewan Roughrider braintrust of Chris Jones and John Murphy because they’re not responsible for anything that happened prior to 2016. But they understand that losing does not go over well in the 306 and know full well that the natives are getting restless.

“I know this: we’ve got a lot of character in that

room and I saw a lot of bright eyes in there,” said a hopeful Chris Jones after Saturday’s game. “Hadn’t been that long ago (in 2011), B.C. started 0-5 and ended up going to the Grey Cup. It’s a long season and we’ve gotta just continue to scratch and claw and we’ve got a good solid character group, players and coaches included.

“All we can do is all we can do. We’re not gonna throw the baby out with the bathwater.”

It’s clear Saskatchewan is slowly falling in love with Jones, his southern drawl and folksy sayings but these fans would turn on their own mother if she had a losing record.

31,014 Rider fans nearly filled the stadium on Saturday and they showed up with a chip on their shoulder. It was a perfect summer night and the fans were primed for a victory. They were loud, and had a serious edge. But they left silent and dejected with 2:06 remaining when their team turned it over on downs.

And now, we wait to see how the fanbase deals with an 0-3 start this week. The Roughriders understand if the fans are upset.

“Of course,” shrugged Jones’ righthand man John Murphy. “I’m not saying that’s their role but that’s their role. When we’re winning you should be supportive, happy and content but if we win one in-a-row, you want to see two. If we win 10 in-a-row, you want to see 11. You never should be satisfied as a fan no matter how well we’re doing, and then be okay with the fact if we give our best for four quarters and it doesn’t turn out. I’m very fine with you being as hyper-critical as you want to because it’s your dollars.”

These are football guys who know the score and aren’t insecure. In a refreshing change of philosophy around here, they’re going to give it to you straight.

Now it’s up to YOU whether you want to hang around on the bangwagon to see how it all plays out, beginning this Friday night and in the subsequent weeks leading up to November.

Are you living with this team or are you dying with this team?

I’d truly love to know.

Parenting Tips from Regional KidsFirst

- Nightmares, what causes them?

Almost every day brings new experiences for young children. Some of them are pretty scary to a little person who feels helpless in a big world.

Nightmares are frightening dreams that usually cause children to wake up. They generally happen closer to the morning. Children usually report that the dream was about being in danger.

Nightmares generally happen because your child is feeling worried about something or are having difficulty with a family situation. Nightmares may result from children trying to work through all of these experiences and fears while asleep.

Nightmares seem to happen most often between the ages of two and six. For example, a lot of 2 year olds seem to be afraid that mom or dad will leave them. 3 year olds may develop fears of monsters or animals. Of course, real-life things can cause nightmares too. Things like seeing their parents argue, starting daycare or seeing a scary television show or movie. Basically, anything that a child finds upsetting may cause them to have nightmares.

If the nightmares occur frequently, your child may become quite fearful of going to bed and have difficulty falling asleep. Your child may also want to sleep in your bed. If your child is getting less sleep than needed, they may be irritable or moody.

If your child is losing a lot of sleep, or beginning to avoid sleeping or any other activities they used to enjoy, consult your child’s doctor about any possible medical reasons for the nightmares.

Quote of the Week . . .

“You will never win if you never begin.”

- Helen Rowland

Pokemon Go taking the world by storm

Well like anyone my age who grew up with Pokemon, no I didn’t actually have a Gameboy or really play the game as a youngster, but it was all the rage.

So, when a new app was created

by Nintendo that took the real world and laid down a Pokemon game map over top to encourage kids and kids at heart to go walk Kelly Running around looking for Pokemon, I Observer Staff thought I’d give it a go.

It’s kind of interesting because the world is apparently set up so you go to areas you think you’d find certain Pokemon, such as near a body of water for a water based Pokemon, and wander around looking for something to pop up to catch. It was kind of neat other than I felt like an idiot having to stop and try to catch one, standing there with my phone up pointed at the Pokemon and swiping up to send pokeballs at it.

I think I’d rather a different kind of adventure game to get me moving… or I’d be happy just listening to music and getting some exercise, but it is kind of fun… except I can see my pokeballs running out and I’m cheap so I’ll be done with the game if I it prompts me to do any in app purchases. You can apparently get more at pokestops on the map, which are typically public, historic places… in Carlyle this includes places like Centennial Park, the library, the town office, the museum, and there’s more out there but just to name a few. However, as I’ve walked around, these pokestops always seem to be empty To me it’s definitely more of a city game because they’ll have more stops, which means more pokeballs and a cheaper way to play the game. Rural people seem to be hooped, I was talking to someone over in Manor and they only have two Pokestops so not many pokeballs out of the deal. That means it’s definitely easier for kids in bigger centres to play, but it is a neat idea… use the real world to create a world of exploration for those that are engaged by video games. It is a way they’re getting kids up and out of houses encouraging them to become more active.

It sounds like you level up by walking around and it’s set so you can’t have the app open while you’re driving around, you have to be going slow enough it knows you’re getting exercise of some kind… so it does promote getting active… although I guess for the really lazy you could hop in a car and putter along.

Obviously it shouldn’t interfere with work, school, and chores; but, I do think it’s a fun idea for youth as long as they follow the rules of the road and pay attention to the world around them. The other day I had to step off the sidewalk and go around this group of kids trying to catch something, which I thought was rude of them, but they were out and about playing together which is a good thing. They better remember to check both ways before crossing the street though.

The biggest thing I think is neat about the game however is that in addition to Pokemon being near places they’d be in the real world with the Pokemon map overlaid on the real world is that apparently you’ll have to travel the world to “catch ‘em all” because certain rare Pokemon can only be found in certain areas around the world. It’s kind of neat that at the same time it’s getting kids up and moving, it’s encouraging them to travel, and each of the pokestops have a description which means they’re learning about that point of interest in the real world too.

Learning to walk and talk again I didn’t grow up playing a lot of street hockey. Most of the time when my friends got together we were at a pool, park, or someone’s back yard.

However, one of my friends was a huge hockey fan and occasionally she would get a street game going on her block.

Since it wasn’t a terribly busy road we rarely had to shout “car” but when we needed to, Shelley Luedtke we removed ourselves and the nets from the street and waited patiently until the vehicle passed.

I guess I took it for granted that we were allowed to do that, not realizing that in other communities bans were in place prohibiting this very activity. Children (and adults) in Toronto were anxious to hear the results of a recent city council vote on a recommendation to lift a ban on street hockey. Those wanting to uphold the ban cited safety concerns and possible liability if people are injured or property is damaged, while those advocating it be lifted pointed to the health benefits, teamwork skills and community spirit that is enhanced by the neighbourhood game.

That same city council put forward a motion requesting the Ontario Ministry of Transportation add a regulation under the Highway Traffic Act prohibiting pedestrians from actively using a handheld wireless device while on any travelled portion of a roadway, or as it commonly got called…a distracted walking law.

Last fall our daughter competed in provincial cross country competition. The route was clearly marked by flags and rope, interrupted by sections for people to move freely from one side to the other when a race wasn’t on. Race officials would loudly announce when a group of runners was approaching so spectators could ensure they were clear of the course. I truly could not believe the number of people wandering around

with their noses in their phones, oblivious to the warnings that a passel of fast moving runners was heading in their direction. More than once someone had to be yanked by the arm to move them out of harm’s way. Lest we assume the offenders were self-centred, social media absorbed teenagers, they were not. It was adults. More invested in what was on their screen than what was taking place in front of their face.

As kids we could play and be alert at the same time. We were in the game but alert enough to take note of what else was going on around us--when new kids arrived at the pool, when the swings emptied…when a car was coming down the block. So what has happened to us as adults?

Now we can’t seem to cross the street without civic leaders seeing a need to try and protect us.

Then again, perhaps we do need protecting.

We have become so enamoured in the virtual world that we have allowed ourselves to lose touch with the tactile one around us--the one filled with actual tastes and aromas (instead of pictures of meals people post), spoken words (rather than defaulting to texts), authentic emotions (instead of status updates), and real interactions--the things of life. And we’ve caused ourselves injury in the process. More and more people are seeking treatment for pain caused by the overuse of devices: tendonitis in thumbs and wrists, disc bulges in backs, problems with necks, and selfie elbow, caused by the awkward, bent positions arms are in attempting to capture the right shot.

The Ontario provincial government is turning down Toronto city council’s request to ban texting while crossing the street, opting to encourage people to use common sense instead. The Toronto city council meanwhile has lifted the ban on street hockey. Perhaps in both situations the message is the same. Put away the devices, join the community, stand up straight, stretch out your arms and shout, “game on!”

That’s my outlook.

Seeing things differently . . .

Emergency App: Saskatchewan puts safety info into the hands of residents As part of its contribution to a national emergency public alert system, the province of Saskatchewan has created both SaskAlert: an emergencyalerting smartphone app and a website: www.saskalert.ca.

Both the app and the website will provide real-time emergency information as Lynne Bell situations within the province Observer Staff unfold, and settings will allow users to receive emergency alerts for the entire province, or if users choose, for only certain communities and areas. Urban, rural and First Nations communities throughout the province can all be covered by SaskAlert, and so far, close to one-third of municipalities, towns and First Nations communities have signed up to issue emergency alerts via the system.

There are three alert levels: critical, advisory and test.

Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter said: “Public safety is one of the highest priorities of our government and in just the last couple of years alone, you’ve seen some extreme examples of that. We’re all familiar with the wildfire situation.”

Reiter added that after last summer’s wildfires and evacuations in Saskatchewan’s north, it was time for the province to focus on a new way to broadcast emergency information.

In addition to extreme weather events and any emergency that could potentially harm people and/ or damage property, the system can also be used to advise residents of boil water advisories and other situations that affect public health in the wake of a disaster.

And users will even be notified when the app is closed, so important information will be available to them at all times.

It’s estimated that about 97 percent of smartphone users will be able to download the app and Minister Reiter says: “We are encouraging all residents to download the SaskAlert app today to receive real-time information about emergencies as they unfold.”

Of course, emergency alerts will still be broadcast through traditional media outlets, but this app and website are added-and effectivetools to aid residents and visitors to the Land of the Living (and often, lively) Skies, every day, year round.

As someone who volunteered during the 2013 Calgary flood, I witnessed firsthand the power of real-time information and social media during a natural disaster. SaskAlert is a further step in the right direction. Hopefully, all of Canada’s provinces and territories will adopt the idea, too.

The SaskAlert app is available for download at the Apple App Store and Google Play.

SaskAlert app: to download or not A few weeks ago the Saskatchewan Government released a new app called SaskAlert. At first I just thought it was another weather app, which would let us know if we were under a storm watch or warning. I have a pretty good weather app already and thought to myself that it was Kelly Running kind of useless because I was Observer Staff already getting warnings.

However, I read into it more and discovered that yes, it looks at tornadoes, plow winds, and blizzards; but it also focuses on wildfires, hazardous material spills, train derailments, drinking water advisories, evacuations, and local emergency declarations. So there’s more to it than just the weather… although my weather app did warn me about a severe storm the day the app was released at noon, while a coworkers SaskAlert app didn’t warn her… so they might have a few kinks to work out before it’s perfectly operational.

In all honesty though, it’s a good idea as everyone has their cell phone on them these days. The emergency alert will still be broadcast on television and radio networks as well, which is great because not everyone has a cell phone and what if the cellular network is down? A battery powered radio remains the best backup for modern technology.

And battery powered, not charged via usb ports.

There is no cost for communities to participate in SaskAlert, but they are encouraged to sign up in order to participate. That way the town can issue these emergency alerts, because if the water supply is under a boil water advisory, someone needs to let the app know that it is.

So, what’s the best method of staying in the know? A combination of SaskAlert, talking to people, Google, Facebook, the radio, television, and there’s many more. The app does allow you to check on warnings for all of Saskatchewan or for just your area whether nearby or for specific areas, while it also has a section which recommends ways to prepare for an emergency.

I personally didn’t go out and get it right away, but after reading it over, it can’t hurt to have the app.

Southeast Drillers earn provincial title Kelly Running Observer Staff

The Southeast Drillers had a successful provincial baseball run Friday, July 15, to Sunday, July 17; bringing home the championship. The team Kai Joorisity (Kipling), Ryland Maier (Whitewood), Bryson Andred (Kipling), Adrien Riddell (Carlyle), Zane Winter (Carlyle), Ben Thompson (Carlyle), Nathan Simmons (Carlyle), Coty Hofos (Carlyle), Cade Bendtsen (Carlyle), and Kaiden Lyons (Kipling) were excited to attend Peewee AA Tier 5 Provincials. The team was helped to the win by their coaches Murray Lyons and Lloyd Bendtsen.

The Drillers took on the Saskatoon Cardinals, winning in four innings, with a score of 21-0 on Friday morning. That evening they came up against the Regina Buffalos and made quick work of that game as well earning a 30-9 win in the fourth inning.

Saturday brought them up against the Saskatoon A’s, but the Drillers were on fire as they earned a 16-7 win in the sixth, holding off the A’s last bat in the inning.

Sunday morning brought the Drillers up against the Saskatoon Cardinals again, this time in a much closer game. Winning 7-4 the Drillers again held off the last bat by the opposing team for the win.

This win sent the boys into the finals against the Saskatoon A’s again. The Drillers knew they had beat their opposition once before, while the A’s were playing a revenge match for the championship. It turned into a good game, but the Drillers would reach for a 7-3 win, once again holding off the opposition’s final bat, to earn the championship title.

Strombo too hip for hockey audiences?

By Bruce Penton It’s time for the annual July quiz. Those getting 100 per cent will be eligible — or sentenced — to watch 160 hours of televised Olympic coverage.

1. George Stromboulopoulos was replaced as Hockey Night in Canada host by Ron MacLean because: a.) Strombo was far too hip for the aging Hockey Night in Canada audiences b.) CBC executives could neither spell Stromboulopoulos nor pronounce it. c.) Don Cherry threatened to hold his breath and wear normal suits unless MacLean was brought back 2. Winnipeg Blue Bombers beat Hamilton in Steeltown for their first win of the 2016 CFL season, leading to: a.) Commissioner Jeffrey Orridge ordering an investigation b.) Hamilton fans calling for the head of coach Kent Austin c.) City hall planners in Winnipeg starting preliminary preparations for a Grey Cup victory parade.

3. Many male golfers pulled out of the Rio Olympics because: a) They were worried about the Zika virus b) Scheduling proved to be a problem c) A medal cannot be turned into cash 4. Now that former MVP Kevin Durant has joined Golden State, the Warriors will: 1 Be the overwhelming favourite to win the next four or five NBA titles.

2 Be Vegas pointspread favourites in 82 of 82 games next season 3 Spot visiting teams 20 points to keep the fans and TV audiences interested.

5. Toronto sports fans: 1 Are some of the most enthusiastic in Canada 2 Live in the centre of the sports universe thanks to Milos Raonic and the Blue Jays’ stellar play 3 Are still wearing their lucky Leafs 1967 underwear.

6. Quarterback Tom Brady of the Patriots will spend his time during his four-game ‘Deflategate’ suspension: 1 Reflecting on his decision to be involved in the football inflation conspiracy 2 Strenuously working out so he’ll be ready when his suspension ends 3 Imprisoned in his multimillion-dollar mansion for four weeks with his supermodel wife, Gisele 7. The NHL expanding to Las Vegas will: 1 Help grow the game even more in the U.S. southwest 2 Provide gamblers one more sport to get excited about in Sin City 3 Give a spark to the city on game nights because it gets pretty quiet after about 8 p.m.

8. Weird things to happen in 2016: 1 The running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain 2 The running of people all over North America playing Pokemon Go. 3 The running of Donald Trump for president of the U.S. 9. Montreal Canadiens’ season-ticket holders were on the verge of revolt because: a) Their beloved PK

Subban was traded to Nashville b) The Habs haven’t won the Stanley Cup since 1993 c) Prices for Molson beer went up by 10 per cent • Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “New York ended its holdout last week, becoming the final state to legalize MMA fights. The first bout will be at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 12 or the next time someone wears a Red Sox jersey into Yankee Stadium — whichever comes first.”

• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “Quarterback Andrew Luck of the Indy Colts signed a $140M six-year contract. It’s an NFL

record, as Luck would have it.”

• Perry again: “O.J. Simpson’s Heisman Trophy, stolen from USC in 1994, is finally headed back to Heritage Hall. The Trojans, trying to milk the drama, wanted it delivered in a slow-moving white Bronco.”

• From Fark.com, after Snoop Dogg presented Kobe Bryant a vintage Pontiac Parisienne decked out in Lakers colorus as a retirement gift: “Car drives OK, but it smokes like crazy.”

• Brad Dickson of the Omaha (Neb.) WorldHerald, on all the participants’ injuries at the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona: “This is basically the Spanish ver-

sion of U.S. fireworks.”

• Jason Sobel of golf.com, on Twitter: “Nobody uses postage stamps anymore. If Royal Troon were built today, they’d call the eighth hole the Direct Message.”

• Headline at TheKicker.com: “Six children injured at overinflated Brady bounce castle.”

• Tim Cooper of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, on Ravens centre Jeremy Zuttah’s pit bull, Ace, accompanying him down the aisle at his recent wedding: “Man’s best man.”

• Dickson again: “A court ruled against Tom Brady’s Deflategate appeal. I believe this is a case of best-of-seven court decisions.”

• Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “Telling Bill Belichick he can’t have his starting quarterback for one-quarter of the regular season is like informing Bill Gates he’ll have to scrape by for three months with no new cheques coming in. Somehow, you think he’ll manage.”

• Late-night funnyman Jimmy Fallon of NBC: “We are just a few weeks from the start of the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. The mayor of Rio is trying to get Pokémon Go in the city ahead of the Summer Games. So now you can go to Rio and catch two things. Care to comment? Email brucepenton2003@yahoo.ca

49 CANADA: NATURAL SOURCE OF PRIDE SINCE 1867

L’Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland and Labrador Canada’s pre-Columbus connection He did sail the ocean blue in 1492, but Christopher Columbus arrived in North America about 500 years too late to claim the continent’s discovery as his own. Historians doubted the official story that Columbus was the first white man to make contact with North American aboriginal peoples for quite some time, but lacked proof of its inaccuracy. Until a Canadian fisherman named George Decker led explorer Helge Ingstad and his wife, archaeologist Anne Stine Ingstad, to a place locals called the Old Indian Camp.

It’s unclear how L’Anse aux Meadows, located on the northernmost tip of the island of Newfoundland, got its name. Some say it evolved from the French L’Anse aux Méduses, literally jellyfish cove; another theory is that the village was referred to as L’Anse à Médée on a French map from 1892. Evidence shows that the area has was first settled by Aboriginal people over 6,000 years ago—a long time, indeed, but nothing out of the ordinary. What is, however, quite astounding, is the fact that between early Aboriginals and today’s contemporary community, another group called L’Anse aux Meadows home: Vikings.

In 1960, Helge Ingstad and Anne Stine Ingstad were visiting L’Anse aux Meadows from Finland in search of a rumoured Norse settlement in the area. When local fisherman George Decker offered to bring them to a place residents referred to as the Old Indian Camp, little did the couple know that they were actually about to crack the case. The grass-covered mounds they saw upon arrival appeared to be longhouses buried in time at first glance.

This assessment proved correct following a series of archaeological digs led by Anne Stine Ingstad between 1961 and 1968 that unearthed eight complete Norse houses and fragments of a ninth.

This incredible discovery was found to date back to the year 1000, putting the debate to rest once and for all: Christopher Columbus definitely wasn’t the first European to set foot in North America. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978, L’Anse aux Meadows is now home to a fascinating interpretive site where you can learn all about the early Norse settlers in the region. A must-see if you’re ever in the area!

THE 52 LARGEST GROUPS IN CANADA’S MULTICULTURAL MOSAIC

CANADA’S INUIT COMMUNITY Inuit—Inuktitut for the people—are the Aboriginal people of Canada’s arctic. Nearly three quarters of all Inuit in Canada live in what is known as Inuit Nanangat, a term that refers to the land, water and ice of the Arctic region. Of these, around half live in Nunavut. Other large Inuit Nanangat include Nunavik in Northern Quebec, Nunatsiavut (along the northern coast of Labrador) and the western Arctic.

Using data from the 2011 National Household Survey, Statistics Canada estimated that about 59,440 people in Canada have Inuit background.

That’s about 4.2 per-

cent of Canada’s global Aboriginal population.

Eight main ethnic groups make up the Inuit population, and the Inuit language, Inuktitut, has five main dialects in Canada. Nearly eighty-three per cent of Canadian Inuit report being able to converse in one or another of these traditional dialects.

Inuit are traditionally hunters and gatherers who lived a nomadic lifestyle. Contemporary Inuit still produce much of their food through harvesting and hunting, as transportation of goods to isolated northern communities is expensive and sporadic.

NEW BRUNSWICK FLOWER: PURPLE VIOLET In 1936, at the request of the Women’s Institute, local school children and the Lieutenant Governor, the Purple Violet (Viola cucullata) officially became New Brunswick’s emblematic flower. This purple perennial proliferates in meadows, riverbanks and wooded areas throughout the Maritimes. It’s edible and sometimes used in jams and syrups.

Bow Valley Jamboree Festival ready to go Submitted The crack of a baseball bat and cheers of athletes and fans are sounds usually associated with the Bow Valley Park, one mile south of Oxbow.

Saturday, Aug. 6 the sounds will be completely different, but just as delightful.

The Bow Valley Jamboree, an annual music festival, organized by the Oxbow and Area Arts and Cultural Committee, will be held that day in the lower level of the scenic park.

The Opening Ceremonies will begin at 12:30, followed by top notch entertainment by musicians and bands from many different locations, as well as local talent, who will entertain between the main acts.

Downwind, a well-known group from the area formed in the late 1970s, will kick off the noteworthy event. Their one hour performance will feature blasts from the past peppered with classic rock explosions, plus much more.

During the afternoon and early evening, singer-songwriters Mika-Dawn from Pilot Mound, Manitoba, Katie Miller from Esterhazy, Samantha Pauchard, Oxbow, and Tyler Gilbert, Regina, will each perform 30-minute sets.

Andino Suns will entertain with their brand of Latin/Prairie folk music for an hour, as will Alex Runions, a country singer-songwriter from Kipling.

Festival goers will be treated to longer performances by Jeffrey Straker, a Canadian folk-pop singer/

songwriter, and southeast Saskatchewan’s well known group Brad Johner & the Johner Boys.

An Oxbow area band, 10 Mile High, will take to the stage at 10:15 p.m. and rock on until the conclusion of the event.

In addition to the stellar music, the Jamboree will feature a beer garden, food booths, a variety of vendors, and activities for children.

As always, make sure you bring a lawn chair and sunscreen and be prepared to dance, clap and sing-along to the music.

The schedule for the day’s events can be found on posters, the Jamboree’s facebook and website page, and in newspaper advertisements.

Update on the rehab and reno of the Redvers Arts Centre This winter, the Redvers Arts Council (in conjunction with its Building Committee) decided to move forward with plans to re-open the existing Arts Centre rather than build a new Arts Centre in Redvers. The financial costs of a new building were examined closely and it was decided that the time required to raise over 2.5 million dollars for an entirely new building would take many years. Subsequently, it was decided to re-examine re-opening the old building. Several options were explored, but the Arts Council decided that the best option was one that gave the Arts Centre life now and into the future. The Arts Council hired Alton Tangedal Architect Ltd. to assist in planning for a multi-phase plan for the building’s rehabilitation and renovation. This is planning ahead with the end result in mind. The newly rehabilitated building will have the required basement structure addressed, proactive structural issues for the roof addressed, and exterior siding and water-proofing installed. In addition, the renovations will recapture the basement space as a functional area with improvements of a kitchen and washroom added in the basement. A storage room and dressing room will also be redeveloped. The final phase hopes to improve accessibility for all parts of the building with the addition of a ramp into the lobby and an elevator which will allow access to all three levels of the building.

Alton Tangedal Architect Ltd. will coordinate the structural engineering and planning for the building and have asked them to put our phase one work out to tender. The phase 1 work is to address areas of the basement that are a concern due to the structural issues revealed after the 2014 flood.

Chief concerns are the structural reinforcement of the walls, the replacement of the wooden joist floor with a concrete floor, the addition of weeping tile and to combat future flooding, and roughing in work for later phases of the building. As every-

thing is open and easily accessible, we have also chosen to reinforce the main beam and replace the footings for beam posts. All of this work, in conjunction with roof issues addressed in phase two, should add decades back to the lifespan of the Arts Centre building. That is the goal: to have a longterm solution, not a stop-gap solution.

We hope that this phase 1 work will be completed this fall with the hopes of being able to re-open the theatre in January 2017. Ideally, we would be able to be open for a few months in 2017 before closing for the summer to address phase two: the roof reinforcement or replacement.

Breaking up the work of the renovation into phases should allow the building to re-open and resume some of the past programming at the arts centre (including movies and concerts). In total, while the cost of the entire rehabilitation and renovation is less expensive than a new facility, its costs are still substantial. Therefore, a phase by phase approach will help us to manage fundraising on a per-project basis. While the first phase has not yet been put out to tender, its estimated cost is roughly $300000. Of that, the Redvers Arts Council has $150000 available now plus there are $50000 contributions from each of the R.M. of Antler and the Town of Redvers that were set aside for our building project in 2015. While no 2016 contribution is anticipated from the Town of the Redvers, the Redvers Arts Council hopes that will change in 2017. While there is an estimated shortfall of roughly $50000 for our phase 1 budget,

fundraising will continue this year and into 2017 and 2018 as we hope to address phase 2 and 3 within the next year. Phase development will depend entirely on meeting fundraising goals.

The Arts Council Board and the Fundraising Committee have continued to work on fundraising activities over the last 18 months. Current fundraisers include the second edition of the Community Birthday/Anniversary Calendar, the Arts Centre Golf Tourney (August 27), the Zombie Run (October 1), and a second dinner theatre (November 24, 25, & 26). This is in addition to our next Arts Council/OSAC concert—the return of Everything Fitz (fiddlers and step dancers). This is to be held in the Redvers School gymnasium on November 8.

The Redvers Arts Council and its fundraising and building committees are working hard to reopen the building and resume arts and culture programming and movies in a permanent home.

Donations can be made directly to the Redvers Arts Council for a tax receipt (Box 727, Redvers). We appreciate the work and contributions of the community and hope to continue to see support as we move forward.

Rabies and YOU HEAD FOR THE HILLS VETERINARY HEALTH SERVICES: Carlyle, Redvers, and Kipling A positive rabies case has just been confirmed in the RM of Antler #61. Other RM’s with positive cases this summer: Mount Pleasant #2 and Rocanville #151.

Every year 60,000 people die from rabies, a disease preventable with vaccine. Rabies is a deadly zoonotic disease (transferable from animals to humans) that affects mammals all over the world.

Bites and scratches from infected animals transfer the virus manifested in their saliva to any animal, including humans. Pets that become infected by raccoons, skunks, foxes, bats, etc. can easily infect their owners. Once inoculated by their saliva, the virus travels up to the brain and has detrimental effects to the central nervous system. So how does this infection explain the typical stereotypical image of a rabid animal: bearing its teeth and frothing from the mouth?

First we can explore the symptoms animals will have when infected. These can be categorized under two forms, “Furious” and “Dumb”. Furious rabies is the form you would associate with dogs from the movies “Old Yellar” and “Cujo”. In the movie “Old Yellar” they use the term ‘hydrophobia’ for rabies or “fear of water.” In actuality, the infected hydrophobic animal describes a series of symptoms: difficulty swallowing, inability to quench thirst and panic when given liquids to drink. The virus does this by multiplying in the salivary glands, resulting in excessive drooling/frothing, and attempts at drinking may actually cause painful muscles spasms in the throat. The animal changes its behavior too with furious rabies- becoming more aggressive, restless, confused, and prone to bite anything that gets in its way.

Why would a virus cause the aforementioned strange behaviors? Well, thinking about it from a virus point of view, the infected animal is the perfect host to allow the virus to survive and inoculate another unsuspecting mammal, including you! By not drinking, the saliva cannot be diluted of virus particles, concentrating the virus in its mouth; by causing aggression, the rabid animal is more likely to bite. Eventually the animal will become paralyzed in various areas of the body, and approximately 10 days after the symptoms arise, the animal succumbs to the virus. The end result for an animal or human infected with rabies is ultimately death, unless a vaccine is administered in time- only one human in history has survived rabies without receiving the rabies vaccine.

Sometimes the animal can have opposite symptoms, such as a behavior change; a not so affectionate animal may become more affectionate, or an outgoing pet may become withdrawn. An animal with the “dumb” form of rabies is more likely to show these symptoms and may try to hide. How do we know exactly which form of rabies will arise?

That is the conundrum we are left with… we don’t!

Not all animals with rabies will show these exact symptoms and different species show different symptoms. Cattle may become paralyzed in their throat, have excessive drooling, extreme vocalizing, and/or are unable to swallow their food. Ensure you always wear gloves when handling a downer cow or checking inside a cow’s mouth if they are not swallowing properly. Likewise, be weary if you see a fox or skunk that is walking around your yard in bright day light no longer shy of you as it could be a possible rabies carrier.

The incubation period, or onset of symptoms, in infected mammals varies on where the animal is

bitten. For instance, if bitten on the back leg, it will take longer for symptoms to appear as it takes longer for the virus to reach the brain. The approximate time from the onset of symptoms until death is about 10 days.

Now that you are more aware of how rabies virus infects an animal, how can we prevent these rabid animals from propagating this virus’s detrimental plan to survive in as many hosts as it can? Easy.

Vaccination! As any pet owner of any companion animals, including dogs, house cats, barn cats and horses, you have the responsibility to protect your family from rabies virus. The once a year rabies vaccine is an easy way to help protect your family (including your fur babies). Vaccinating your feline or canine friend yearly will infer them protection against rabies. Any non-vaccinated pet that is bitten by a wild animal that is positive with rabies may be euthanized so testing can be done or quarantined for 6 months. The only way to test for rabies is by taking a brain sample, which requires the pet to be euthanized first. When we vaccinate them, it allows your pets’ immune system to build up antibodies that fight off the virus if they are ever bitten by a rabid animal. Every pet in this area should be vaccinated yearly for rabies especially for your own safety, and the sake of your family and children that spend time with pets.

Why do we recommend a yearly vaccination?

Seeing your pet annually ensures your pet is healthy and we are able to take preventative measures to catch early diseases before they become a problem.

Imperatively, the titres, or immunity, of animals vaccinated every 3 years is often not high enough for the veterinary inspector to deem appropriate and requires quarantine of these possibly infected animals for 6 months duration. Locked away, away from your family and confused as to why they’ve been taken- not a happy outcome for all involved.

It’s not just rural farm dogs that should be vaccinated for rabies, but rather indoor/outdoor pets too that live in town should be vaccinated as they too are susceptible to rabid wildlife carriers. Many people think that because they live in town there pet would never be exposed to wildlife, but it is proven that wildlife does indeed wander into towns every so often. Infected wildlife are no longer scared of people/pets and primarily nocturnal animals, like racoons, will be out in the daylight. It is a good idea to vaccinate all pets because of this reason!

Head for the Hills has diagnosed multiple rabies cases in different species including cattle, cats, dogs and skunks. Any animal that is having aforementioned abnormal behavior should be considered for

having the virus, especially in our area, and reported to your local veterinarian or to CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) immediately. Just recently, this month, we received a positive rabies diagnosis in a cat who attacked people at their BBQ. There were 23 positive rabies samples last year in Saskatchewan alone, the second highest total in all of Canada. In Saskatchewan, 22 samples have been submitted just in the month of May (2016) alone (please visit the CFIA website for further details).

40% of people who are bitten by suspected rabid animals are children under 15 years of age. Teaching children to stay away from stray animals is a good preventative measure to keep your family safe. Stray animals are often not vaccinated and may bite anyone unsuspectingly. The responsibility of an animal owner to vaccinate cannot be stressed enough to ensure you and your neighbors are safe!

People can also be vaccinated for rabies but it is quite costly, prevention through vaccination is the key.

If you or someone you know is bitten by an animal, a health professional (doctor, nurse practitioner or public health nurse) and CFIA should be contacted immediately. Thoroughly cleansing the wound or bite site with soap immediately should be done. Shots given after exposure to the virus can be effective at preventing the disease; however once symptoms of rabies appear, there is no cure,which is why you should seek immediate medical attention if you are scratched or bitten by an animal or in close contact with a bat! Remember: VACCINATION IS KEY! Thank you for taking the time to become knowledgeable about this very real risk in your area. For more information please visit: www. rabiesalliance.org.

Served with wisdom, please

By Linda Wegner This week I had occasion to spend a couple of days with my best friend in the Major Trauma section of the emergency ward at our local hospital. It was stressful to say the least and because of the nature of that person’s illness, it also was fairly quiet (quiet, at least, for an emergency ward).

I sat without speaking much, a huge challenge for me, and sometimes read. Mostly I pondered and prayed.

That person is home now and slowly improving but the thoughts garnered during that time continue to take precedence. Death or permanent impairment could easily have happened, although thank God, neither did but out of that experience some of the following questions burned themselves into my mind and heart: First, what are my greatest challenges? Next, how do I best meet them?

And, last but far from least, what am I doing to avoid finding myself in the same situation as my friend?

Here are the three answers I came up with to those three questions.

My greatest challenges include deciding priorities in my life, deciding which risks are wise choices and which are foolish or unnecessary and, yielding to the temptation to eat the wrong thing at the wrong time.

I decided I could best address challenges by recognizing and planning my defences.

Taking risks will have to be evaluated carefully, contrary to my “by nature” impulsive reactions to many situations.

DRILLING REPORT

Friday, July 22, 2016

The doctor attending to a different patient unknowingly provided encouragement and confirmation to me regarding an eating plan. I couldn’t help but overhear his words to a grossly obese gentleman in the next bed and the advice he gave him involved exactly the same regime as I began last year.

PS: The same three temptations were thrown at Jesus (Luke 4). He overcame and through Him, so can we.
